Jaycar Ultrasonic Antifouling
Does anyone have any experience using this product?
https://www.jaycar.com.au/kit-ultras...boats/p/KC5498
It is basically an ultrasonic antifouling system, available in kit form from an Australian
Electronics
components store.
Also interested in your experience with any other brands that use similar technology.

Re: Jaycar Ultrasonic Antifouling
I built two of the early ones from the kits and installed them in a
steel
boat
. I think they helped but are not the silver bullet I had hoped.

Re: Jaycar Ultrasonic Antifouling
There are some very long threads around on this if you search with lots of feedback and real world results - the end just of which seems to be it works to a degree but will not replace antifoul
paint
which needs re-doing regularly anyway...

Re: Jaycar Ultrasonic Antifouling
Reading through the user reports I suspect they
work
on solid or metal hulls, but not cored ones....
